I first had this as a child in Singapore usually made by our armour, since then this recipe has evolved over a period of time and is a family favourite loved by young and old. A very adaptable Rice based dish, is ideal to cook especially after a sunday roast pork. All leftover vegetables work really well mixed with the rice.
